Living the socialite simple life means doing your share of consignment shopping. Since I’ve been so addicted to vintage lately, I’m so glad I discovered I-ELLA, a fun consignment start-up where you can shop the closets socialites, celebrities, fashion editors, and other stylish New Yorkers.  Buying something vintage means owning a piece that tells a story.  I-ELLA does a great job revealing the story behind each item by profiling the previous owner.  I often find myself shopping by pervious own rather than by designer.  Once you find someone with similar taste, it’s a easy to buy up everything in their closet.

I love that I can now shop the closets of equally stylish people who may have a slightly larger shopping budget than I do.

Who knew going green by buying vintage could be so stylish?

Shelves and shelves of pretty things!
